Army Wives (2007–2013): Season 5, Episode 12 - Firefight - full transcript

Previously on "Army Wives"...

It's like they're already
brother and sister.

He comes home to live
with us tomorrow.

That's fantastic.

Yeah, we're happy. David will
be going to school on Post.

Now I think you should
consider applying to the OCS.

Officer Candidate School. You
come out as a second lieutenant.

Kind of has a nice ring to it.

You miss it don't you, nursing?

I do.

It's about Denise.



She'd like to work at
Mercer again, but...

- She's been banned.
- I'll look into it.

You're on a roll, Michael,
and not a good one.

They jerk you out
of theater early,

and they give West Point
to that suck-up Brady.

Brady's a good man.

He's not fit to shine your
brass, and you know that.

I hate school. I'm dropping out.

- Have you talked to your coach?
- I'm off the team.

- What?
- Academic probation.

How am I gonna tell dad?

General Holden. Sir,
have you been drinking?

Yes, I have.

I'm gonna have to ask you
to step out of the car.



Michael. We're in here, honey.

How was General Whitaker?

I'll tell you later.

What's up?

Uh... Emmalin wants to
discuss something with you.

Uh... Dad, um...

I'm having a really
tough time with school.

What do you mean, tough?

Michael, let her talk.

I'm failing Chemistry and
I got a "D" in Economics.

That is unacceptable.

I know, dad,

which is why I want to
take some time off.

Time off? No.

No, you don't just quit because
you're having trouble.

I didn't say quit.
I said time off.

And what about hockey,

your responsibility to your
teammates, your coach?

She's off the team, Michael.

- What?
- Academic probation.

When did this happen?

Two weeks ago.

And you're telling us now?
Did you know about this?

No.

I cannot believe this.

After all of your hard work
coming back from that injury,

then you throw it down the drain
and then you lie to us about it.

I told you he
wouldn't understand.

Oh, honey.

You shouldn't coddle
her, Claudia Joy.

No, better to humiliate
her like you did.

- Maybe I came on a bit hard.
- Maybe?

Emmalin blew off the semester,

and she's been lying
to us for weeks.

She wasn't lying, Michael.
She was afraid.

From the way you
reacted, I can see why.

- You want her to quit school?
- Of course not.

But a lot of freshmen
have trouble adjusting.

When I was a freshman,
I had to be up at 5:00

to shine my shoes and memorize

the front page of "The New York Times"
before taking on a full day of classes.

She's not at West
Point, Michael.

She's an adult.

She's 18, and between classes,
hockey, the sorority-

Clearly that was a mistake.

How much time you think the
sorority's been taking?

I don't know, Michael, but I'm
glad she has friends to be around,

especially after what
happened to Jeremy.

I'm sure that's part of this.
Did you even consider that

before you jumped
down her throat?

It doesn't change what she did.

I'll talk to her tomorrow.

Do you have your pencils?

Notebook?

He's going to school,
Joan, not formation.

- I just want him to be ready.
- Mm-hmm.

Lunch-

Peanut butter and
jelly sandwich.

Strawberry jelly?

Of course. Carrot
sticks and brownies.

No nuts.

Permission slip for your
field trip on Friday.

It's in my room. I'm sorry.
I-I didn't-

Hey, no worries, man.
Go grab it.

Maybe I should come,
too, just sit through

- his first few classes?
- He'll be fine, sweetheart.

It's not exactly his first time
starting a new school, you know?

No, but it is mine.

With one of our
children, I mean.

I know, but David is
taking his cues from us.

If we're not worried,
he won't worry either.

- I got it!
- Good man. You ready?

- Uh-huh.
- You ready, baby girl?

- Yes.
- All right. Let's roll.

- Bye. Be a good girl.
- See you.

Bye, David.

I want to hear all about
it when you get home.

Okay.

See ya.

Is dad gone?

At this hour?

Yes, he's at work.

Okay good.

Honey, you can't
avoid him forever.

Hey. He doesn't want
to see me either.

That's not true.

Mom, you heard him.

It's like he thinks I
screwed up on purpose.

Your father overreacted,

but to be fair, honey,
you did blindside us.

We thought you were doing fine.

I told you that I-I understand.
I do.

But you need to understand,

your father's been going through
a rough time himself lately.

Why? The op-ed article?

That among other things.

The point is, you need to
cut each other some slack.

Oh, that's Pamela.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Come on in.

So I think the printers
did a fantastic job

on the Ball invitation, huh?

Mm. I agree.

Yeah. Tell him to go ahead.

Okay. You have time for coffee?

No, I gotta get to work.

Um...

But I hope Michael didn't feel
too awkward about last night.

Last night?

The ticket.

What ticket?

Uh, well, it was nothing,
really- a broken taillight.

Boone and I pulled him
over, but there was

an open beer bottle on the
passenger-side floor.

Uh, he said he'd
driven a friend home,

and it was his bottle.

Uh, General Whitaker,
his former commander.

Yeah, and Michael said he had
a drink or two himself, so...

You know, we tested
him for a DUI.

You took him to the station?

No, no, no. We had
him walk the line,

um, and he was a bit unsteady.

But you know he hurt his
back in that night jump.

Right. You told me.

We just don't carry
breathalyzers in the field,

so we administered a few other
tests, which he passed.

He wasn't drunk, Claudia Joy.

I would never let a drunk
driver back on the road,

- No matter who it was, okay?
- Mm-hmm.

- All right. I've really gotta get to work.
- Yeah, yeah.

- Um, thanks for telling me.
- Of course, and don't worry.

Boone and I will
keep it quiet, okay?

Bye.

Bye.

I know it's unusual for
me to invite you here.

But I understand
you've expressed

an interest in returning
to work at Mercer.

Did Frank say something?

Claudia Joy.

Well, she didn't
have to do that.

It's fine.

More importantly, is it true?

Well, yes, but...

We both know that's
not possible.

I'm-I've been
banned from Mercer.

Well, that's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

There's been a change
at the hospital.

I spoke with Colonel
Upton, the new commander.

She's reviewed your file

and said you're welcome to come
in for an interview. - Really?

Just give me the word.
I'll set it up.

I don't know what to say.

How about yes?

Yes.

Where do you think you're going?

- Stop. Quit it.
- Hey.

Leave him alone.

What do you care?

Leave him alone, Greg.

I mean it.

Mm-hmm.

Let's go, guys.

You okay?

I could've handled it.

- I know.
- I'm fine.

Dr. Hendricks to 3-0-4 west.

Dr. Hendricks to 3-0-4 west.

Tanya?

- Oh, my God. Tanya.
- Denise.

Hi. Oh, how are you?
What are you doing here?

- I'm working.
- Really?

I meant to give you a call.

When did this happen? I
thought you were in Florida.

I was, but they assigned me here
to finish my enlistment, so...

Whoa. Finish your enlistment?

What about college
and green to gold?

I dropped green to gold.

I'll be getting out of the
Army when this is over.

Oh, I see.

What are you doing here?

Uh, well, uh, as it turns out,

I'm going back to nursing, so
we'll be working together.

Yeah. Why don't you stop
by for dinner tonight?

Frank's in D.C. We
could catch up.

- You can see Molly.
- I'm afraid I'm busy.

- Okay. Well, then- - I'd
love to talk, Denise,

but I really should
make my rounds, so...

Of course. Yeah. Call me.

I will.

Principal Minken's office.

You're sure it was him?

Yes. David admitted throwing
Greg's book into the toilet.

- Well, did he say why?
- Neither boy would explain.

I was hoping perhaps you could shed
some light on David's behavior.

Well, things were
great this morning.

Well, obviously,
something happened.

I agree.

But boys this age can
be very close-mouthed,

in any case, I have to hold him
accountable for his actions.

David has detention for a week,

and I'm afraid you'll
have to pay for the book.

Yes, of course.

Why would you do
something like that?

I don't know.

There has to be a reason, David.

David, did this other boy-
Greg-say something to you?

Did he tease you?

Look at us, David.

David...

You do understand, it's wrong
to destroy someone else's book?

Yes.

Well, it's important to realize that
your actions have consequences.

You can't misbehave
without being punished.

We've talked about it

and decided, because
of what you did,

you are not allowed
to watch television

or play video games for
the next two days.

No, that's mine!

You can get it back in two days.

Until then, you think
about what you did

and how you could do things
differently the next time.

This isn't fair!

I've never heard Michael

talk to Emmalin
like that before.

- Mm. Must be hard on her.
- Yeah, on me, too.

Oh, he has to sit down with
her tonight, work it out.

Right.

Still thinking about Tanya?

Sorry.

No, I understand.

I just don't get it.

She must have been here
for two weeks now.

Why didn't she call?

Seeing you probably brings
up a lot of emotions.

I know, but we've
e-mailed a few times,

and she sounded like
she was doing okay.

She didn't say anything
about quitting school

or coming here.

She's still wearing
Jeremy's ring.

She's getting out of the Army.

I'd say she's grieving.

Mm.

Tell you the truth, I'm a
little worried about her.

Sounds good, hon.

Just take the steaks
from the freezer.

I'll grill 'em up
when I get home.

Sure, we can take
the kids tonight.

Just-you better defrost
some hamburger as well.

I don't have enough sirloin.

Okay, I'll see you tonight.

Lisa has a boy from
her first marriage,

- a little girl from the second.
- Oh, right.

She hasn't had it easy, Moran.

Hey, who am I to judge?

I just get the feeling you
don't like her very much.

Boone, I don't even know her.

I met her exactly once,
so don't put this on me.

- Put what on you?
- Whatever it is you're feeling.

I'm not feeling anything.

Okay, then what are
we talking about?

The fact that you
don't like Lisa.

Can we just go ahead with
the evaluation, please?

T.J. told me this sixth grader-

Greg Turner- was giving
David a hard time.

T.J. says Greg's a real creep.

Does T.J. know what he
was teasing him about?

It had to do with your rank.

The boys asked David
what you do in the Army,

and he said you're a general
in charge of the whole Post.

Oh, man.

I should've been
more clear with him.

Joan, it's not your fault.

Bullies will always come up
with something to tease about.

And T.J. didn't get
this from David.

He had to find out
from some other kids.

I should be getting to The Hump.

Thanks, Roxy.

And thank T.J. for
sticking up for David.

I will. Sorry about this.

I'm sure it's the last thing
you guys need, right?

We'll figure something out.

- I know. Night.
- Night.

Why didn't he tell us this?

He didn't tell anyone, Joan.

He's used to relying on himself.

It's not a bad trait.

I know, but... now I feel bad.

Given what we know, you think we
should lighten his punishment?

No. We gotta be consistent.

I know.

It just hurts.

Okay, they finally settled down.

Thanks to some card game
Lucas brought over.

Perfect. There we go.

Good as new.

Maybe I'll just face this
side toward the wall.

I told 'em they don't have
to tell their mothers

- about our game of indoor football.
- Roger that.

- You want a beer?
- Sure.

So Pamela tells me
you're going OCS.

Well... I'm applying anyway.

You sure about that?

- Yeah. Why not?
- I don't know.

I never wanted to be an officer.

Too much politics for one thing.

I hear you, man, but listen...

I want to be a leader.

You already are, man.

Being a leader isn't
about your pay grade.

It's what you do in the field.

Look what you've done.

Leading men under fire-
that's what it's about.

Besides, once the
steel starts flying,

NCO's are in charge
anyway, and you know it.

Yeah, but how many times do orders
come down that screw things up?

Maybe I can change some of that.

Maybe, but with each
rung of the ladder,

you get further away
from what matters.

My two cents, anyway.

But hell, somebody's gotta
give the orders, right?

Michael.

I have work.

I'll talk to Em later.

And when are you
gonna talk to me?

About what happened before
you came home last night...

The traffic stop?

Pamela spoke to you.

She assumed you'd told me
about the broken taillight,

which you did not.

But I'm more interested in
the drunk driving part.

I wasn't drunk.

Michael, you are a
two-star general

driving with an open
bottle in your car.

- What were you thinking?
- It was Whitaker's beer.

- And that makes a difference?
- Nothing happened, Claudia Joy.

Aren't you the one always saying

we have to hold ourselves
to a higher standard?

You're overreacting.

Am I?

You accused Emmalin of lying

because she didn't want us to
know what was going on with her.

What do you call this?

- It's different.
- How?

Since you've been home,

you've been moody
and self-absorbed.

I haven't said anything because I
know what you're going through.

But I will not stand
by while my husband

jeopardizes his career and
mistreats his family.

Just because I was
a little hard on-

Our daughter came home
needing love and support,

and what she got instead
was the back of your hand,

from a hypocrite no less.

You should be ashamed
of yourself.

Em?

It's open.

I know you're not very
happy with me right now,

and I have a few
issues with you, too.

Can we talk at least?

I don't know. That's up to you.

I'd like to talk.

I'd like to...
Listen anyway, okay?

Okay.

You really want to drop out?

No.

So what do you want?

I-I want straight A's
and starting goalie,

but that's not happening.

Why not?

Well, for one, I told
you, classes are hard.

And I don't have time
for anything, ever.

And Janine White is a
second-team All-American,

and she's a junior, so even
if I do get back on the team,

I'm not starting for
at least a year.

You know, when you put
it all like that,

it really doesn't
sound so bad to me.

You just need to organize your
time better and be patient.

Cut out a few parties, maybe.

Dad.

Look, now that you know
what you're up against,

Em, you can beat it.

Movement to contact.

Draw the enemy's fire to
determine their position

and then develop the
situation to your advantage.

Can you... stop with
the army lingo please?

What I'm saying is,

you learn from experience.

And sometimes, that
experience is...

Hitting a brick wall.

I'm not...

used to failing.

Failing is giving up.
Are you giving up?

Nope.

Then you're not failing.
You're... struggling.

So am I.

So what now?

Can you get extensions,

retake classes, do
extra work maybe?

- I don't know.
- Well, you might want to find that out.

Concentrate your forces.

- Dad.
- Sorry.

You get the point.

And you know I'm behind you.

- Win or tie.
- That's my line.

Dad.

Thank you.

I just spoke to Emmalin.
I think it went well.

Good.

You never called me
a hypocrite before.

You never deserved it.

You know, since that
article came out,

not much has gone my way.

I lost my shot at
the West Point job,

my chance for a third star,

got pulled back
from theater early,

and then I come home, and the
first thing that happens

- is a night-jump accident.
- They can't put that on you.

Perception, Claudia Joy.
My luck has gone bad,

and nobody wants to be
around an unlucky general.

I've never seen so many requests for
reassignment come across my desk.

You didn't tell me.

Well, I was letting
it get to me,

feeling sorry for myself.

No more.

As long as I have a
command, I'm gonna command.

The hell with the rest.

Whatever happens...

Never forget,

I didn't fall in love
with General Holden.

I fell in love with
Michael James Holden.

And I'm still in love with him.

It was actually 68.

Would you excuse
me for a moment?

Of course.

Tanya.

Hey, I was just getting
my orientation.

They've changed a few things
since I worked here last.

- I'm sure.
- So, uh, Frank comes back on Friday.

I told him you were here.

He'd like to take us
out for a big dinner.

- Does that sound good?
- Friday? I can't. I've got training.

Oh. Well, there's a-a food
fair in town this weekend.

That could be fun.

Um... I'm on kind
of a strict diet.

Or a concert-

Denise, I really appreciate it,

but you don't have to
make such an effort.

It's no effort.

You're not my family, okay?

You don't have to look after me.

Right.

Excuse me.

Hey. Want to play some football?

- No, thanks.
- Come on. We need another guy.

I'm okay.

All right.

Wow. They even took
the radiator cap.

It's probably on eBay by now.

Okay, that's everything.

Tow truck's on the way.

Okay, I want your
honest opinion.

About what?

Lisa.

Boone-

I won't mark you down
on your evaluation,

if that's what you're
worried about, Moran.

You know me better than that.

Do I?

Moran.

Boone, I haven't said a
single word about her,

and you've bitten my
head off twice today.

It looks pretty intact to me.

Come on. Spill.

Okay.

Okay. I... think you
could do better.

I think you deserve better.

From what I can see,

she treats you like
an ATM machine.

And she's got two kids...

From two busted marriages...

And she doesn't have
custody of either of 'em.

So that should tell
you something.

Boone?

Romeo-Tango-4-Niner-Yankee-2.

What?

Wasn't that on the hot
sheet this morning?

Narcotics suspect,
black El Camino,

Romeo-Tango-4-Niner-Yankee-2.

You're amazing.

3-0-5 to dispatch,
prepare to copy.

Copy, 3-0-5.

South Carolina 28,
Romeo-Tango-4-Nine-Yankee-2.

Black El camino on
Fourth and Iris.

10-4. Unmarked unit is en route.

10-4. We'll keep eyes
on till they arrive.

All units in the vicinity
of Fourth and Iris,

we have a black El Camino.
Black-and-white will be on...

Moran.

Hit it!

10-80 on foot heading east
between Iris and Calvert!

Cops!

Move! Move! Move!

Undercover's here.
We got the back!

All units, be advised, the
suspect and two associates

have entered a house
at 2303 Calvert.

Gun!

Moran.

It looked like it
might have been

a bit out of his
strike zone anyway.

The counts gonna
move to 2-and-2.

He's setting up.
There's the throw,

and he got him looking,
and that's gonna end-

More police units are
arriving all the time,

and we understand,
SWAT is on the way

in what's become a highly
volatile situation

with gunfire coming
from inside this home.

Let's take a look
at some footage

shot shortly after we
arrived on the scene.

Details are still sketchy,
but we've been told

that this home is a
suspected drug hangout.

Let's turn it.

It's gas!

Here they come. Come out slowly!

- On the ground! On the ground!
- Hands up!

Let me see your hands! Hands up!

On the ground, face down.

- It's clear!
- Clear!

Code 4.

Okay, now will you get
that checked out?

Boone.

Not an option. Come on, Moran.
Get moving.

Good to go, officer. Just
keep it clean and covered.

Thank you. See?

I got a head made of teflon.
No stitches.

I'll be sure to mention
that in your evaluation.

Pamela!

Chase, what are you doing here?

What am I doing here?
Are you okay?

Yeah. I, uh, just got hit
by some flying glass.

How did you know-

Well, it was all
over the local news.

I could see you.

Wow. Hey, we're TV stars.

Um, Chase, this is Clay Boone.
Boone, Chase.

Pleasure. I've heard
a lot about you.

Same here.

Listen, Pamela, I've been
looking all over for you.

It took me ten minutes to
get past the police line.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- I tried your cell.

Yeah, well, I was a little busy.

Oh, my God. Roxy's
called me eight times.

- I better call her back.
- Yeah, in a minute.

Listen, would it be all right
if I brought my wife home now?

- No, Chase. I'm still on duty.
- Relax, Moran. As your supervisor,

I'm ordering you home for
rest and relaxation.

- But we have a lot- -
I'll handle the paperwork.

Okay, that's a joke. You
type like a Neanderthal.

You better go before
I change my mind.

Listen to the man, Pamela.
Come on.

Thanks.

Where is she? She's
gonna miss her flight.

Emmalin!

I'm coming.

Okay, so I just heard back
from my Chem Professor.

He'll let me take an incomplete,
um, on the semester,

and then retake the
course this Summer.

This Summer?

Hey, you didn't want me
around anyway, did you?

Of course I do.

And my Econ professor
is going to let me

do a term paper
for extra credit.

I mean, I still can't
get more than a "B",

- but it's better than a "D", right?
- Absolutely.

Oh, and I talked
to coach Sullivan.

He said, if things work out,

I'm back on the
team next semester.

Oh, that's great, honey.

I'm developing the situation.

Yes, you are. Mwah. Oh,
I'll talk to you soon.

Okay. Bye, dad. I love you.

Love you, too, kiddo.

See you.

I finally heard from Pamela.

She's okay.

There's just a little
cut on her forehead.

Good. You know, if
she was a soldier,

she'd get a purple heart.

Hey, um, do officers
go into battle?

Oh, yeah.

Lieutenants lead platoons,
captains lead companies,

- lieutenant colonels-
- I get it.

I've been thinking, babe.

Maybe OCS isn't such a
hot idea after all.

Why not?

I'm just... not sure
I'm officer material.

Frank thinks you are.

Yeah, but I'm a grunt,
not a politician.

Where is this coming from?

Well, I was talking with
Chase, and he was saying that,

you know, NCO's are the backbone
of the Army, and he's right.

So you think you
can't handle it?

Well, those guys from West Point,
they're a lot smarter than I am.

I don't want to hear that.

Babe, it's true.

Maybe they have some
advantages that you don't.

But remember what
Frank said to you.

Leadership like yours
can't be taught.

Yeah, but there's more than
one way to lead in the Army.

There's platoon sergeant,
there's first sergeant-

Okay, fine. Look...

I do not give two hoots about
Officer Candidate School.

All right?

I'd be happier if you
went to barber school.

But as long as
you're in the Army,

you should go for what you want.

You're not Chase and
you're not Frank.

You have to decide what's
best for yourself.

Ok?

- Hey.
- Hey.

How'd it go today?

He said it went fine.

Hey.

Hey, man. How was school today?

Great. I played football with T.J.
and some other kids.

You didn't tell me that.

Well, the game was all tied up,
and then I caught this pass

and scored the
winning touchdown.

That's what I'm talking about.

And the teacher said I was the
best speller in the class.

Comes from all that reading.

So... can I please
play my video game

after dinner tonight?

Please?

David, we said you couldn't
play video games for two days.

- It's only been one.
- But I was good today.

And we're proud of you,

but that doesn't mean you
get out of your punishment.

This isn't fair.

You'll get it back tomorrow.

I think you can wait one more day.
Don't you?

You're mean.

All right, let him go.

Oh, hey.

Someone left this for you.

Thanks, Amy.

"Tanya, I've always hated

"the standard-issue stethoscope-

"clunky and no sense of style.

"Please accept this as
a welcome back present

"and know that you are
always welcome in our home.

Love, Denise."

David?

David...

- He's not here.
- Are you sure?

I've looked everywhere.
He's gone.

Oh, my God. You're sure?

We checked the house,
inside and out.

- Have you called the MP's?
- Yeah, they got cars out.

I checked with the neighbors,
and no one's seen him.

Oh, I'm-I'm sure he's okay.

T.J. ran away one time. We
found him hiding in a tree.

Hey, we're about to check
the west side of the Post.

You think you can
handle the east?

Yeah, of course. I'll get
in the van right now,

- and we'll keep in touch by phone.
- Hey, thanks, Rox.

- Okay.
- What happened?

David ran away. Will
you watch the kids?

Sure.

- Mom.
- Not now, T.J. I gotta go.

Mom, I know where he might be.

Okay, come with me.

Hey.

Hey.

So what's going on?

I ran away.

They were mean to me.

Yeah.

My folks are like
that, too, sometimes.

It's just because they want
us to act right, you know?

It's gonna be dark soon.

Can't read in the dark.

Let's go.

David.

Are you all right?

Come on. Let's go home.

Thank you.

I'm so proud of you.

Come on.

Are you mad at me?

We were frightened, David.

We thought you might
have been lost, dude,

or even hurt.

You're very important to us.

You're important to
Sara Elizabeth, too.

You took my game away.

Because you did something wrong,

not because we want to be mean.

Punishing you doesn't mean
we don't care about you.

No, it's just the opposite.

It's because we care about
you that we want you

to know the difference
between right and wrong,

how to control yourself
in tough situations.

Look, David...

We know you've had to deal with
a lot of changes in your life,

and it's gonna take a while

for you to get used
to being here,

but in this family,
when we have problems,

we don't run from 'em.

We talk about it.

Are you gonna punish me again?

No.

You didn't know any better.

You were angry and confused

and you went someplace where
you feel safe. We get it.

We just want that place to be here...
in your home.

You understand?

Can I go to my room now?

I don't know. Can you?

May I go to my room now?

Yes, you may.

Boone.

What happened?

I broke up with Lisa. She
didn't take it well.

- She hit you?
- Flying cell phone.

Come on in. I'll
get you some ice.

No, no, no. I just stopped by
because I wanted to give you

a copy of my write-up
about today.

I thought maybe you could give
it a polish before I turn it in.

Sure.

I also brought you a
copy of this as well-

your evaluation.

You aced it.

But only because you
are teacher's pet.

Boone... I, uh-Pamela.

I gotta go, you know,
change the locks

before Lisa sets
fire to my place.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Right.

Who was that?

Boone wanted me to
go over his report.

You know, what happened today-

not being able to reach you,

wondering if you were all right-

it made me realize how
you must have felt

all those times I was
away on missions.

It sucks, right?

Well, I understand why
you wanted me to quit.

I just wanted you...
out of danger.

I want you out of danger, too.

Today was highly unusual, Chase.

Most police officers go
through their entire careers

without ever firing
their weapon.

Police work is mostly routine.

Yeah, until it isn't, just
like being a soldier.

Look... I got a call from
Tommy Valencia last week.

You remember him?

Your Delta instructor?

One of 'em anyway.

He started a security
firm in San Jose-

white-collar stuff mostly,

protecting computer firms
in Silicon Valley.

He's expanding, and
he offered me a job.

Here?

No, in California.

Doing what, wearing a uniform
and sitting in a lobby?

No, nothing like that.

He wants me on the
management level,

and it's more money than
both of us make combined.

Chase-

You wouldn't have to work
if you didn't want to,

and the kids could play
outside all year long.

Yeah, but-Just think
about it, okay?

He gave me a couple of
weeks to get back to him.

I told him it would take
that long to wear you down.

Okay.

Okay.
